Katy Perry's stylist, M Rahi, has refuted claims of dining with Megan Markle, emphasizing that there were no conversations or discussions about a potential partnership.
Reports emerged suggesting that Megan Markle had attempted to enlist the expertise of former Juicy Couture creative director Jamie Misrahi to curate her wardrobe for a new venture, following the launch of her brand, American Riviera Orchard.
Despite her efforts, Mrs. Sussex faced a setback as Misrahi, known for his work with Megan's neighbor Katy Perry and actress Jennifer Lawrence, as well as a recent collaboration with luxury denim brand 7 For All Mankind, opted not to align himself with Megan's fashion endeavors.
Although speculations arose after Markle was spotted dining with Misrahi in November 2023 ahead of Katy Perry's Las Vegas concert, Misrahi's camp has denied any such dinner with Megan Markle. No official announcement regarding a partnership has been made, despite ongoing speculations. With Misrahi's recent recognition in The Hollywood Reporter's list of top 25 power stylists, focusing primarily on his work with Adele and Emma Stone, it appears that his expertise may not be destined for the Markle wardrobe.
Criticism surrounding Megan Markle's fashion choices has persisted, with many noting her consistent lack of attention to detail, often appearing in public wearing untidy and wrinkled outfits. This disregard for maintaining a polished appearance has deterred major fashion brands and stylists from collaborating with her, reflecting poorly on potential partnerships. Brands and stylists seek clients who uphold a certain standard of elegance and professionalism, making Markle a less desirable candidate for collaborations within the industry.
Furthermore, rumors suggest that Markle has been pursuing particular A-list individuals for endorsement, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. However, this pursuit has been met with skepticism, with some questioning Markle's qualifications for her new lifestyle brand. US host and commentator Megan C expressed doubts about the authenticity of Markle's brand, labeling it as fraudulent and lacking substance.
As Markle and Prince Harry navigate their transition into Hollywood, there are warnings that they may face challenges in sustaining interest if they fail to diversify their narrative. Royal expert Richard K cautioned that relying solely on celebrity status could result in them being "hung out to dry" if they don't offer more compelling content beyond their initial appeal.
